A very timely read. This book begins in June 1953 with the Queen's coronation and all the excitement of an East End family watching the ceremony on their new TV. (TV's had just come out and were a rare luxury). The residents of the street are squashed into one small room, grown-ups and kids alike. I wasn't ready for what came next and I won't say here. But it was enough to cause me to read the book in a couple of days. An easy and uplifting novel. Can recommend.

About Me

I like anything that makes me laugh, from the nostalgia of the Carry On films to the bumbling Inspector Clouseau. Peter Sellers made me laugh so hard I would fall off the cinema seats. Then there’s television.Frasier, Miranda and Lead Balloon and many more that have made me forget life for a while with a belly laugh.
I really believe laughter in our lives is important, for our immune systems and well being. I remember reading Wilt by Tom Sharpe. It was a low time in my life, but I couldn’t stop myself from laughing out loud while in a hospital waiting room. Everybody in that room looked up and smiled, and for a brief moment we were linked by humour.
